Rubio: What's the problem? All Putin wants is the Donbass. It's just 11% of the country....
Prez: I demand full control over Ukraine and expect their unconditional surrender.
Rubio: See, it's just the Donbass.

As nationalist movements around the world reel from voter anger at their policies (or lack of them), they are all using the same playbook.
Reject results they don’t like and claim fraud.
Try to physically stop voters they don’t like from voting.
Resort to violence.
🗳️ A fight broke out inside a polling station in the Palestinian town of Tira in central Israel on Tuesday, after Arab Knesset member Ahmad Tibi confronted an Israeli settler trying to block Palestinian citizens of Israel from voting, the Palestinian newspaper Al-Quds reported. Video shared by Palestinian politician Mustafa Barghouti shows a tense confrontation inside the station.
🔸 Local sources told Al-Quds that armed settlers were present inside polling stations in Palestinian towns, posing as observers for far-right parties to intimidate voters. The legal rights group Adalah called for urgent action over shortages of Arabic-language ballots in several towns.
🔸 Israel's ruling Likud party also deployed paid teams outside polling stations in Palestinian towns to collect footage and testimony that could be used to challenge the results if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc appears headed for defeat, Haaretz reported.
🔸The operation, estimated to cost millions of shekels, runs separately from official election monitors and reportedly covers nearly every polling station in Palestinian communities.

Nothing says "the media manufactured the Russia hoax" than going on a hunting trip with one Russian oligarch right after another Russian oligarch had paid for your wedding.
The trip highlights the remarkable relationship between a son of the US president and a tycoon with a criminal record who has close ties to Vladimir Putin’s personal security service. Intelligence experts say such connections are ripe for manipulation. ft.trib.al/p0LBRYI

Sophia Loren, just turning age 22 and making an international splash in "Boy on a Dolphin" (1957). This was her first major English-language film role, introducing American audiences to a beauty and screen presence unlike any other.

Republicans spend years telling everyone, “Trump was just joking! Why can't you take a joke?”
Then Obama makes one Cheesecake Factory joke, and they lose their minds for days.

Well, would you look at that! 🔥 Just 380 km from Moscow, Ukraine has hit the Energy plant in Yelets. It is Russia's only factory plant that makes the batteries needed for its advanced missiles.
Well done. Slave Ukraine! 🇺🇦
